Updating the Interfaces File

Add a RepConnector connection entry to the Replication Server interfaces file for each RepConnector connection. The interfaces file contains network information that Replication Server requires to connect to RepConnector.

Either record this information on the worksheet provided as you go through the procedure, or complete the worksheet first, then use it in the procedure.

Server name – the name of the data server. This name should be unique and case-sensitive. Record this value on line 3.a of the worksheet.

This is also the RepConnector connection DSI name, which you will need later when you configure the RepConnector connection.

Note: Sybase recommends that you use a name that clearly identifies this connection as allowing Replication Server to communicate with RepConnector, and that distinguishes it from a traditional connection between any data server and the corresponding database.
Protocol – the network protocol for the DSI connection. Record this value on line 3.b of the worksheet.

You can use either the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or the NLWNSCK protocol on Windows, and either TCP or the Transport Layer Interface (TLI) TCP protocol on UNIX.
Host name – the machine name where the RepConnector connection will be running. This value should be recorded on line 3.c of the worksheet.
Port Number – the port where the RepConnector connection will be listening. This must be an unused port number on the host machine. Record the value on line 3.d of the worksheet.
